Player News
Anthony Rizzo on fire
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(9:08 am ET) Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo has been on a tear.

The 23-year-old is hitting .403 since April 20, with three home runs and 10 doubles. Strikeouts were a problem for Rizzo early in the year, but he's gone seven straight games without one. Rizzo reportedly made some minor tweaks to his swing at the end of April, which is partially responsible for his recent surge. He's hitting .277/.349/.523 in 155 at-bats.


Jhonatan Solano could be called up Thursday
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(9:01 am ET) Nationals catcher Jhonatan Solano could be on his way back to the big leagues, according to Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post. 

Wilson Ramos left Wednesday night's game after pulling his hamstring, and manager Davey Johnson said he would be "down for a while." Johnson added that he believes the team will call up Solano to take Ramos' place. Solano has been up with the club once this year, and received  six at-bats. 


Wilson Ramos likely to go back on DL
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(8:54 am ET) Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos will likely go back on the disabled list with a hamstring injury, according to Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post.

Manager Davey Johnson classified Ramos as "down for a while," and that he believes the team will call up Jhonaton Solano Thursday to take Ramos' place. Ramos already missed time this season with a hamstring injury. He's hitting .250/.308/.438 in 48 at-bats. 


Josh Rutledge reaches base three times
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(8:42 am ET) Rockies second baseman Josh Rutledge had three hits Wednesday.

Rutledge had three singles, driving in two runs. He has a .255/.316/.383 line in 141 at-bats. Rutledge has added five home runs and five steals.


Adam LaRoche hits fourth home run
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(8:33 am ET) Nationals first baseman Adam LaRoche hit his fourth home run Wednesday.

LaRoche was responsible for the team's only run of the game, hitting a solo shot in the top of the fourth inning. LaRoche got off to a poor start, but he's on a 12-game hitting streak. He's raised his average nearly 90 points over that period.


Angel Pagan reaches three times
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(8:28 am ET) Giants outfielder Angel Pagan reached base three times Wednesday.

Pagan had two doubles and a single with a run scored. It was Pagan's first multi-hit game since May 1. He's hitting .264/.315/.372 in 148 at-bats this year. 


Rickie Weeks hits third home run
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(8:15 am ET) Brewers second baseman Rickie Weeks hit his third home run of the season Wednesday.

Weeks has been in a major slump this year, hitting .187/.306/.299. In the top of the seventh inning, Weeks sent a Wandy Rodriguez changeup out to left for a solo shot. It was Weeks' first home run since April 30.


Greg Holland makes quick work of Angels
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(1:49 am ET) Royals closer Greg Holland came on to pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning Wednesday in Anaheim. He was protecting a 9-5 lead in a non-save situation.

Holland made quick work of the Angels in a 1-2-3 frame. He needed 15 pitches and 11 went for strikes. His ERA is 3.21.

The Kansas City closer has seen spotty appearances of late. His last save came on May 1 against Tampa Bay. He has posted a win and a blown save since. Holland has 21 strikeouts over 14 innings with seven saves.


Mike Trout hits eighth home run
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(1:48 am ET) Angels center fielder Mike Trout hit his eighth home run of the season Wednesday, a solo shot in the eighth inning of his team's 9-5 loss to the Royals. Trout also added a double, two walks, two runs and two RBI in his five trips to the plate.

It was Trout's second straight game with a home run and sixth straight game with at least one hit, boosting his batting average to .293. He has reached base safely in 16 straight games.


Wade Davis gets support
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(1:45 am ET) Royals starter Wade Davis got plenty of run support on Wednesday night in Los Angeles. He didn't have the best of outings, but he did pick up a win.

Davis improved to 3-3, allowing four earned runs on nine hits and three walks over 5 1/3 innings. He threw 103 pitches and struck out two batters.

The Royals put up seven runs in the third inning to back him but he failed to go deep into the game. Davis has had trouble with that this season, but at least he snapped a three-game losing streak.

Davis makes his next start for the Royals Tuesday in Houston.
